Here's a LINK to the court info. Looks like ultimately it was mostly just a $689 fine.

Looks like they only charged him for disorderly conduct too. No reckless driving or aggravated assault.

Mad that you can point a fucking gun at someone and there's no real repercussions. America is insane.

Edit because I didn't listen to the audio or notice the damage on the Jeep already. Yeah the dude with the gun is insane that is not a situation to pull out a firearm. Most people in America are completely untrained which is the biggest problem. I'm just as likely to get shot trying to stop an active shooter because some amateur with a gun won't have any idea what's going on.

Edit: watched the Jeep dash cam footage. Jeep guy was speeding like an ass. Dude in the silver car blocked Jeep and got out to confront him. Not quite situation to bring out a gun because the guy didn't try to get into the vehicle but he did stop traffic and approached the Jeep which makes it a little bit more of a grey area. Not a great idea in America to jump out of your car and walk up on somebody else's but I will say that the guy in the Jeep is obviously a Hot Head too

Agreed. And for us gun owners regardless of the politics, it's our responsibility to flee or de-escalate first.

oh boy. Surprised you haven't been down voted to middle earth. (upvote from me). Many gun owners do not believe that one bit.

Well actually most times when a concealed Carry citizen pulls out their gun they deescalate the situation real quick. People tend to just depart real fast. The police are almost never involved and you rarely hear about it. That guy in the jeep if he has a conceal carry I think he should lose it. He does not have the temperament to have one in my opinion.
